Well, as I understand it, BoP is still using the Il-2 engine, which was optimized for a much lower, slower flight regime, as well as the unitank fuel system. The P-51D is really best when it's high, fast, and the seat tank is empty, none of which really work well in the current engine. I suspect we will have to wait until the BoB engine before we have a good P-51.
Addendum: It would be interesting to see how an Allison Mustang handled in the Il-2 engine, though.

One thing in its favour its got
the WEP of the GODS i read P51's could handle long periods of WEP during real flights so tried it on a training mission and had it on for a good 5 minutes without stopping.

Got atleast 6 minutes out of it a second time and hit 630kph in level flight at 4000m (simulation mode).

I always thought the P-51D in this game, was not what it should be like.
now im watching this: It says the P51-D should - outrun - outmanouvre - outgun the bf109 now...im not so sure about the outmanouvre... but outrun.. hell yeah! I tried this with a friend of mine today... I was in a p51d and he in a bf109E. We flew next to each other at 8000ft... and then put full throttle.. I only gained 0.2km lead in the first 5sec... but after that...he was matching my top speed easily  And the turns in this game with the P-51 are crazy.. try doing any of the stuff you see in the 'dogfights' episode... and you WILL stall and spin. You can not even do a normal scissors at high speed :S.. neither can you pull out of a dive normally... you have to be verryyyy gentle.. there is just no way you can stay on the tail of a 109 for 5 secs in this game .. I really hope the will change its flight model... if not for me... do it for the americans!
